Thanks in advance

In Northwind database, there is a report, named as Alphabetical List of
Products.
In it is a text box named as DatePrinted(=Format(Date(),"dd-mmm-yyyy).
This control seems missing a label.

Q1. Why do we need labels being attached to parent controls.
Q2. If I delete a label attached to parent control, what consequences is
going to happen. Can I still access parent controls? Why we delete labels?

Because it's easier to delete an unneeded label than to create a new
one, I'd presume. The Access developers were just trying to save you
time.

Nothing will happen to the control. It will still exist, still be
available, still work - it just won't have a label.
